Garden Design and Landscape Design

Light, water, plants...

28 June 2018

I'm trying to visit a few completed gardens this summer to see how they have matured, and I caught this magical moment in one, where the light combined with the planting and the moving water in such a beautiful way. Seeing this reminds me why I love designing, the opportunity to create beauty using natural elements. The water feature was a bespoke design for this garden; one other was commissioned by the late Professor Stephen Hawking, and I like to think that something of the mystery of the water welling up from the mysterious dark depths of the vessel spoke to his amazing mind.
